RE: Read The Attached About HDMI

Thanks for the link! Actually, my experience to date has been that the audio for all bonus materials on my Blu-Ray and HD DVD movies work fine over HDMI. Whether it's coming through as 5.1 channels of lossless audio is another matter, but it's really the main movie soundtrack that I care about: The animated oompa loompas, picture-in-picture features and director's commentary tracks don't need full lossless perfection as far as I'm concerned.

If I already owned a very nice surround processor or receiver that just so happened to lack HDMI 1.3 and TrueHD processing, I probably wouldn't want to replace it just for that either. But I'm starting from scratch here, and the Denon 3808 and others still seem to have a full set of analog inputs, so aside from costing more, I'm not seeing a downside to getting a 1.3x-equipped model.
